Beyond helping to reduce the freeze ups when possible, I really hope that Apple will make it possible to slow down the repetition of the busy message. When VO says "busy busy busy busy" right back-to-back, it feels something like annoying. I know the program is busy. I'd be satisfied if it just reminded me once every 5 seconds, particularly since it will say "ready" when the program is no longer "busy".

I suppose this must be a very memory-intensive process, as it bogged my computer down for several minutes and I got the busy message intermittently during this whole time.
